Good luck!
The month I got my bfp was when I went on honeymoon, didn't bother with opks or anything and just had lots of good food and sex.

OwlinaTree · 10/12/2015 19:11

I'm up for that!

Mimilicious013 · 10/12/2015 19:29

Thanks oyster will keep that in mind.
Hie owlina ,here's to the festive season full of fun!

Hi mimi, sorry AF got you. I think you might be onto something. I've got AF due on Tuesday - if she shows then I may join you. The idea of a month free of peeing in receptacles and peering at my cm in disappointment sounds appealing Smile

MrsJoJo · 10/12/2015 23:03

Can I jump in!? TTC #2 with a big age gap... DS is 8, 2 DSS aged 8&5. Cycle #3, CD1!

Looking at my MN profile I joined before this message board even began! I was on the Oct 2007 birth board...

Generally taking a very relaxed approach but DP is now away Mon-Fri for next 4/5 months Sad so may not happen for a while. Hoping to catch whilst we're relaxing over Christmas.

Mimilicious013 · 11/12/2015 09:13

Welcome mrsj let's hope we enjoy our relaxing ride to a bfp.
Thanks crunchy fingers crossed that u get your bfp and only join us to cheer us on.are u poasing this wkend?

Thanks mimi. Nah I'm planning to lay off the testing and only do it if AF is late. The BFN really gets me down and then i get annoyed at myself for being so disappointed. Part of me is hoping that even if AF does come it'll be late - would be nice to see the B6 having an effect on my luteal phase!

quitecrunchy · 11/12/2015 13:38

Owl you spoke too soon! We'll have a drink on your behalf and raise a toast to your little bean GrinWine

Hi mrs, good luck over the Xmas break!

Mimilicious013 · 11/12/2015 17:11

Mimi sorry that you got AF Flowers boring and annoying isn't it! I am sad and fed up with TTC so I am with you. No peeing on any sticks, no obsessing, lots of merriment! No bans on alcohol, coffee, tea ect, no 'acting pregnant' until bfp (which won't come until AF is very late due to BAN on pee sticks) I am going to try hard to distract myself Smile I hope this is our month, and if not, at least I hope it will be a less shit month Xmas Grin WineCake

Mimilicious013 · 12/12/2015 17:08

Hi ladies! Sorry to everyone who hasn't got a bfp this month... At least you can properly enjoy Christmas! I took a relaxed approach with DS and took 11 months to catch nine years ago... Was 37 yesterday so feel the clock ticking now but planning on being super relaxed until DP is home full time again - I've always trusted that things will happen when they do, no point rushing or obsessing over it. This approach kept me sane during a stressful divorce (is there any other sort) and helped me meet a lovely man who has made me realise how much was wrong before. He is as keen on having another child as I am and he is amazed I'm as relaxed as this. We're just enjoying the ride Grin

Mimilicious013 · 13/12/2015 11:18

Happy belated birthday mrsj hope u enjoyed your day yesterday.it's nice to hear of a beautiful rltnshp.am right behind u coz am turning 35 in a few weeks.the relaxed approach keeps u a bit sane and hoping for an exciting festive season.

Haha thanks mimi! What was I saying about not testing early? Blush I REALLY hope this is a true BFP and that it sticks. Will keep you up to date on the December bus.

Good luck to you all and have a brilliant christmas if I'm not back on here before then!

Mimilicious013 · 16/12/2015 12:29

Count me in :( my cycles have become really irregular since ttc :( before this they were 32/33 days on the dot now 52,66,44 what is going on!?!?!

if AF doesn't show I am hiding the thermometer and putting away the sticks I have had enough.

I have also just started a new diet as I am far too overweight.
